Ahhhh ok, so if I were to go down the route of ITB’s or Carbs which are NA right? I would have to do a lot of engine rebuilding work to get to my desired power range. But to retain what I’ve got but switch to FI I would only have to change the ‘external’ parts that we’ve mentioned?

Can you explain why changing from a single carb+turbo to a fuel injected manifold & turbo will increase the compression if I keep the turbo the same size? I trust your right, I’m not trying to argue, I just want to understand/learn why it makes a difference

Well that answers that questions, I definitely don’t have the budget for a 15k engine build

I wasn’t sure if the ECU company would just ship it over or weather they would give me some pointers as to what senses they recommend etc. Interesting to hear you’ve used the same intake manifold, would you recommend it?. It came with the car when I bought it so I haven’t looked into it too...

Ok so it’s definitely something that I can do. Thank you for the rest of the information, it’s all slowly starting to piece together (slowly being the key word 😂) In your personal view, am I better of dropping the turbo & going with ITB’s? When I got the car I was told it made around...

I’m based down in Surrey

I'm definitely looking to do it myself, the reason I bought the car is to learn how to work on it, I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. I just want to make sure I’m doing the right thing and not wasting money getting wrong parts or buying extras that I don’t need. Parts I find hard are...

It seems like this is a pretty big & uncommon job to do? I would have thought quite a few people do it. Am I going way over my head with a project that’s going to take & cost a lot? Or is this a reasonably straight forward project?

So currently I’ve got this intake manifold, it came with the car which is why I would like to use it, could also be sold as it looks brand now & in good condition. What would be really useful is if anyone know what else I would need other than: - Fuel rail - EFI, wiring etc. - sensors assuming...

The question continues, I’ve had such a hard time with this one I though there would be quite a straight forward answer or line to help determine which to go for but everyone has a different answer & good reasoning behind them!.

I live the car to bits but It’s definitely got a few quirks. Your right the windscreen stashed button has been converted to shoot some fuel straight into the intake manifold, which is the only way to get it started. I think I’d probably go with ITB’s if I was to switch as they seem a bit more...

Apologise for the wrong use of language, probably shows how Green I am at this 😂, jump straight into the deep end comes to mind. I suppose the main thing I want to get out of the car is reliability, at the moment it can be quite tricky to start especially if it’s cold it can take a few goes to...

Yes that’s the one, I got it a couple of years ago of Julien

Thank you for your in-depth reply’s, confusing but really helpful!. I’m hoping you can help me a bit more. My car currently runs an L28 with a single carb & a turbo. From what I understand not the best combination 😂. I have been looking into changing this system to either fuel injection...

Okay, sorry if this is a bit of a silly question but. Are most ECU’s relatively speaking the same thing but with different ways of programming? And does this mean end user they are the same if you not getting involved with the mapping? Also does anyone know of a good kit for the fuel rail &...

Hello all, Annoyingly I didn’t see this when it fist went up. I have also been looking into the same conversion. My car currently runs a single carb with a turbo (bit of a strange one I know) Now I’m quite the novice so please forgive me if anything I say is wrong & feel free to correct me I’d...

Great write up, it was really useful. I was wondering if I could get your help, I currently have a 240z with an L28 with a single carb & a turbo. I’m looking to switch to a fuel injected system & keep the turbo. The previous owner had started collecting a few bit to do this but never started the...

Hello, Thought I’d come on here and cause an argument as I’m a bit stuck on what to do. I have a 240z with an L28 motor, with a single carburettor & turbo setup. I’m pretty new at this but from what I understand that needs to go. From there I have two options Go for a carburettor set up Or go...

Hey thanks for responding! She’s a LHD, from what I can see most things are relatively original with it there new seats and a new steering wheel but I think the rest of the interior is pretty old and thinking original. It sounds like I should just work on the l28 and try get it run in more smoothly?

Thanks so much for coming back to me! I blew the head gasket last year and took it to a garage so I didn’t feel comfortable changing it myself. They changed it for me and being quite new to this I asked them for any advice they have. They said there quite a lot of smoke coming from the top of...
